A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

The circular addressed to the railroads
Of Minnesota by the board of state rail-
road commissioners is timely and to the
point, and if its provisions are enforced
the dangers of travel Oil the rail will be
somewhat lessened. The commissioners
assert that, although there is law re-
quiring fire extinguishers to be placed
in each end of every passenger coach,

A Heavy Shortage.

STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn.,, Oct. 15.--
Excitement over the downfall of the
Stafford Springs National bank con-
tinues to run very high. United States
National Bank Examiner Forman says
that the shortage grows bigger and big

excess OF that amount. Aside from the
above the bad debts amount to S75, 900,

aggregate of over $3.50 900.

THE MELANCHOLY DAYS.

In the fall brighter brazen tips the politi
clans cheek,
And his gall is most amazin', while his
prophecies are weak.
In the fall the mighty pumpkin swells around
the county fairs,
And the candidate compares it with the
mighty head he wears.
In the fall the lecturing parson turns his back
upon his flock,
And The young man tries to get his winter
garments out of hook.

THE escape of that clever forger, LANDERs,
from the saltwater penitentiary is a most
convincing argument against the practice so
prevalent in penal institutions of granting
privileges TO certain convicts. They could
not be trusted outside of prison walls, and it
is difficult to see what reason there is for put
ting them in positions where they will seize
the first opportunity to escape, for all their
spare moments are devoted to scheming with
this end in view.

The rejection of Senator Whiteman's

The meeting was lightly attended, and
the vote was not by any means express

A COMMON error has been perpetrated by
the newspapers generally in speaking of the
presidents trip as a Western tour, and yet
when the party reached Omaha they We're not
beyond the limits of what is widely regarded
as the geographical center of the United
States. How many people are there, by the
way, who know where is the geographical
center of the United States? 1t will doubt
less be a surprise to the readers of the GLOBE
to learn that as matter of fact this line is
off the west coast of California in the Pacific
ocean. There will be an uplifting of eye
brows at this statement. and probablya num-
Der of communications OH the subjec t. but it
must be remembered that our acquisition
from Russia of the land of seal takes up con-
siderable room in the Northwestern corner
of this continent, and that will account for
theimaginary line running out into the Pacific
ocean. But, to return to the presidents trip, it
is his intention next year to go overland to
San Francisco, or he may postpone it until
the second year of his next term, but he will
take in the Pacific slope with Mrs. CLEvE-
LAND and party of kindred spirits.

HELLO, CENTRAL OFFICE

Monopoly has been forced to the wall
at Memphis. Tenn, where the people
gained substantial victory over the
local telephone company, which had at
tempted to put up the rates from s4S to
houses to s72 per annum each. There
were about ], 200 subscribers, and they
put their feet down solid and told the
company to take out the telephones and
they would go back to barbarism. 1t
was evident too. that they meant what
they said, and the company beat an ig-
nominious retreat and allowed prices to
remain as formerly. This gave rise to
chorus of hellos from all parts of the
city, uttered in most triumphant
strain, which would rasp very disa-
greeably upon the tympani of the di-
rectors of the company. This is mat
ter in which everybody who uses
a telephone is interested, and shows
in union there is bound to be success in
resisting the encroachments of monopo-
lies. And, while talking about tele-
phones, attention is directed to an evil
that exists in our local exchange. How
many good, energetic Anglo-Saxon eX-
pressions have been uttered when, after
ringing for several minutes, there comes
back tie soft murmur of a woman's
voice. ''that line is busy now" Espe-
cially is this the case during the busi-
ness hours of the day, and there Ger
tainly should be remedy for this, as
well as for that whirring, buzzing sound
after communication is established be-
tween two points. Under existing ar
rangements it is easier and more salts
factory to talk to person at Saltwater,
twenty miles from st. Paul, than it is
with business man in the heart of the
wholesale district.

cause they interpreted the characters of the
